Washington, Nov, 18th, 1898
Each week since our commission'
ers demanded the Philippine Islands,
friends of the administration have
informed the public that an ultima*
turn had been sent to Spain that
would end the business, but the
business isnt ended, and the answer
submitted b/the Spanish commis
sioners this week, is every bit as
unsatisfactory as their first. There
has been quite enough talk about
ultimatums; it is now high time to
actually send one. The peace com-
mission has been sitting seveu
weeks and absolutely nothing has
been settled. It is time for this
government to show whether it or
the influence of the Spanish bond
holders is the strongest. There isnt
the slightest doubt in the world that
the delay has been caused by the
bondholders, who want to come in
somewhere in the game.
There was a pointer as to the
probable time that Gen. Fitz. Lee’s
corps will go to Cuba in McKinley’s
acswer to the delegation oi Savanah
business men, who invited him to
come to their city and review Lee’s
troops, when be goes to the peace
ubileeat Atlanta. He told them
he would be in Atlanta Dec. 14, and
would gladly come to Savanah and
review Lee’s troops, if they were
not sent to Cuba before then. It
was evident to his hearers that he
thought Lee’s corps would be in
Ciuba before then—so evident that
they asked him if he could not come
to Savanah before going to Atlanta.
He told them he could not. But
plans as to sending troops to Cuba
laye been changed so often that
they are as likely to be changed
again as to be carried out.
Senator Caffrey, of Louisiana,
says he will oppose the ratification
oy the senate of a treaty annexing
the Philippine Islands, but upon
condition would gladly support it—
that all the negroes he deported to
those islands and never be allowed
to return to the United States. Mr.
Caffrey said: “If the South could

be rid of the negro problem, it
would prosper beyond the dream of
man. With its great natural ad-
vantages of climate and of soil, with
its coal and iron hidden away in its
mountains and the vast, induce-
ments for capital winch it would
offer, if lie.1 negro problem was set-
tled, it would take a great stride
forward ”
The presence of Boss Platt and
Representative Odell, chairman of
the New York state republican
committee, at the same Washington
hotel, this week, was hardly acci
dental. Mr. Odell is a candidate
lor the senate, and although Boss
Platt has apparently sanctioned
Chauncey Depew’s senatorial aspi-
rations, this Washington meeting
has added to the number of those
who believe that Odell is the man
Platt wishes to have for his col
league in the senate, or that they
are setting un the pins for a dark
horse.
Senator Morrill, of Vermont,came
yery near to sizing up the situation
in connection with the high jinks— ;
beg pardon—high joint commission
that is trying to agree upon a treaty
tnat will smooth out all the kinks
between this country and Canada, I
when he said: “The trouble with;
the situation is that Canada has
nothing to giye. She had her houses
all painted new by the agrement of
1854 to 1864, Novt they have grown
weatherbeaten and dingy; she wants ]
them to have a new coat ot paint.” J
Those republicans who talk about
the recent election having been an
overwhelming endorsement of their
party, are merely indulging in pipe
dreams. There was nothing over I
whelming about the election. On
the contrary, it was only by the
skin of their teeth, as the sayiDg is,
that the republicans escaped defeat.
It was such a close shave that a
change of 300 votes, distrbuted
among eight congressional districts^
would have put the republicans in a
minority in the next house, instead
of a majority. It should not be for-
jotten, either, that the republican
majority in the next house will be l
orty less than their majority in
the present house. To blow about
such an ‘endorsement’ as that is
simply to exhibit gall.
Senator Faulkner says it is by no
means certain that the republicans
will control the West Virginia leg
islature that will elect his successor.
The result will depend upon the offi-
cial count in a number of districts,
and Mr. Faulkner expresses confi-
dence in democratic control of the
egislature.
Although Representative Gros-
venor and other friends of the ad-
ministration have been industriously
denying that there was any lack of
harrrony between Czar Reed and the
administration!, or that there was
any intention on the part ot the ad
ministration to try to prevent Reed’s
election as speaker of the next house
there are other facts, such as the
public statements respectively made
by Boss Hanna, and byDingley.wbr
was made chairman of the House
Ways and Means committee bv Reed
and who is Reed’s man, which offset
those denials. The two statemet ts
are directly opposed to each other
Hanna says the tariff has got to be
revised and more money provided
for; Dingly says no revolution legis
lation of importance is needed and
that there will be none by congre-s
By many who make a study ot the
intricate undercurrents of politics
these two opposite statements aft-
regarded as the first guns in a fight
between Reed and the administra
tion.
No Federal troops are to be sent
into either North or South Caro'ii a
as a result of the race troubles in
those states. The administration
has decided to confine its interfer’
ence in those states to trying to get
evidence to have any parties who
interfered with any federal official
iu the performance of his official du
ties indicted by the federal grand ju
ries connected with the U. S. eour s
in the two states.

War Will Not Be Resum-
ed.
Washington, Nov. 21.—War with
Soain will not be resumed. Spain's
peace commissioners, reluctantly
and probably with formal protests,
will sign a treaty in less than
a fortnight embodying in full all tin
demands made by the United States
This is tin* -onlkiunt belief of
l’residi nt .V- Kndny uiu Ids official
advisers, based upon the logic of the
situation as well as upon official dis-
patches received by secretary May
from Judge D-V, the chairman of
the American commission,‘this eve-
ning.
In .spite of ixany sensational re-
ports from Paris this morning an-
nouncing a breaking off of peace ne-
gotiations, the authorities here
showed little anxiety and calmly u-
waited advices from Judge Day,
which came later in the day I was
told by a cabinet officer this evening
that the dispatches from Paris this;
afternoon gave a very correct out-*
line of the demands which the;
American commissioners presented
to the Spanish commissioners at the
session this morning.
